Thrifty Wedding Gift

Recently we had a neighbor get married. They are a young couple just starting out so I decided to throw together some cleaning and laundry supplies. In theory it could cost a lot of money to purchase all of these items when starting out. I have been couponing for the past couple of years and I have been able to buy most of these items for a dollar or less. Some of the items I even got for free. The basket was the most expensive item! Couponing has been such a blessing to my family, I have been able to share our bounty with others which has been great!!

Amber, this is so impressive. What a wonderful gift at coupon prices. I love the idea of savings but I hate or too lazy to mess with the coupons. My experience with coupons amounts to carrying them around until they have expired. I forget. Where do you find most of your coupons?

I get most of my coupons from the Sunday paper (which I get 4 of). I also print a lot of coupons from the internet.

It does take time, but Brinton likes to tease me that this is my job (sometimes I walk away from a store making money).

The greatest help for me are the coupon blogs I follow.Fabulesslyfrugal.comand Thekrazycouponlady.comThey are both local to Boise, but most of the "deals" can be found at your local big stores as well.

When it comes to the actual coupons, I throw away a ton of expired coupons every month too! I plan most of my grocery trips around what is on sale and plan our meals around the bargains I come across.

This week I stocked up on tons of kellogs cereal and milk. 20 boxes and 6 gallons of milk, after rebates it will all be for free!! I am going back Monday (Albertsons) to get a few more. Our freezer is going to be packed with milk!

Sorry so lengthy, But it is way too much fun for me not to share! If you have questions fell free to email them to me.
